TAIJIN / WIRE ROPE FLAW DETECTORS
WR-5D Computerized Wire Rope Flaw Detector
Magnetic flux leakage inspection for steel wire ropes.
The WR-5D is a computerized non-destructive inspection system designed to detect internal and external broken wires, corrosion, wear and changes in metallic cross-sectional area. The sensor works with computer-based software for continuous signal monitoring, defect evaluation and reporting.
Computer not included. Specify the wire rope diameter and required sensor configuration when requesting a quotation.
